COLTER-WHEEL BRACKET.

Application filed .Tune 11, 1923. Serial No. 644,745.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM S. FREDER- ICK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cylinder, in the county of Palo Alto and State of Iowa, have invented new and useful Improvements in Colter-IVheel Brackets, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a plow colter, the general object of the invention being to provide means for preventing the colter from being clogged with mud.

This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claim.

In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the eral views, and in which Figure l is a view of a plow showing the improved colter thereon.

Figure Q is an enlarged view of the colter and its frame.

Figure 3 is a section on line 3-3 of Figure 2.

Figure 4 is a side elevation of one of the hub parts.

Figure 5 is a view of the colter and its shaft with the hub parts removed therefrom.

Figure 6 is a detail view showing one of the colter. hubs associated with a fragmentary portion of the colter.

Figure 7 is an outer edge elevation of tlie hub shown in Figure 4.

Figure 8 is an inner edge elevation thereof.

Figure 9 is a perspective view of a fragmentary portion thereof.

In these views 1 indicates a yoke-shaped frame which is adapted to be secured in any desired manner to the plow beam 2. A fixed shaft 3 passes through a tubular colter shaft 4 and has its ends passed through openings in the ends of the yoke shaped frame l. The colter 5 is bolted or otherwise secured to the hubs 6 of said hollow shaft. Thus it will be seen that the colter and its hollow shaft are rotatably mounted on the stationary shaft between the ends of the yoke frame. The stationary hubs 7 are mounted on the hollow shaft, one on each side of the colter and the outer ends of these hub parts are notched to receive the ends of the frame so that the hub parts are held against rotary movement. The hub parts are of tapered shape with their large ends recessed, as at 8, to receive the hubs of the hollow shaft. By making the hubs of the shape shown mud and the like sticking to the colter will gradually work over the hubs and will drop off the small ends thereof and thus not clog the colter. These hub parts also form a housing for the hollow shaft and its hubs of the colter.

It is thought fronr the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of my invention will be readily apparent.

I desire itto be understood that I may y make changes in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claim.

IVhat I claim is A mounting for rolling colters comprising` a pair of parallel arms, a shaft carried b v the arms7 a pair of oppositely disposed sleeves arranged on the shaft. opposed annular flanges formed on the inner ends of the sleeves, a colter disposed on the shaft and held between the flanges, and a pair of hub members arranged on the sleeve and disposed upon opposite sides of the colter, such hub members being provided with opposed flared ends which engage the colter andthe ends of the hub members being provided with notches which receive the ends of the arms.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.

WILLIAM S. FREDERICK.
